<p>  Create a file in your new repository, add something to that file and
  commit those changes to Git.</p>
<hr>
<p>  Now that you&#39;ve got a repository started, add a file to it. </p>
<p>  {bold}{cyan}
  New File{/bold}
  --------{/cyan}</p>
<p>  Open a text editor. Now write a couple of lines of text, perhaps
  describe the tastiest sandwich you can imagine, and save the
  file as <code>readme.md</code> in the folder you created in the last lesson.</p>
<p>  {bold}{cyan}
  Check, Add and Commit Changes{/bold}
  -----------------------------{/cyan}</p>
<p>  Next check the {bold}status{/bold} of your repository. Below in this terminal, 
  you should still be within the new folder you created. See if there 
  are changes listed:</p>
<p>  $ git status</p>
<p>  Then {bold}add{/bold} the file you just created to the files you&#39;d 
  like to {bold}commit{/bold} (aka save) to change. </p>
<p>  $ git add readme.md</p>
<p>  Finally, {bold}commit{/bold} those changes to the repository&#39;s history with a 
  short description of the updates. See the command hints below!</p>
<p>  $ git commit -m &quot;your commit message&quot;</p>
<p>  {bold}{cyan}
  Make More Changes{/bold}
  -----------------------------{/cyan}</p>
<p>  Now add another line to <code>readme.md</code>, perhaps a title, and save.</p>
<p>  In terminal, you can view the {bold}diff{/bold}erence between the 
  file now and how it was at your last commit. </p>
<p>  $ git diff</p>
<p>  Now with what you just learned above, commit this latest change.</p>
<p>  When all changes are committed, run <code>git-it verify</code>.</p>
